About the 2019 Civic Type R

The 2019 Honda Civic Type R is wowing drivers across the Wolverine State with true, race-inspired power and performance. Being the fastest Honda ever brought to the United States, this hot hatch is sure to be a hit with driving enthusiasts. A robust 2.0L turbocharged engine produces 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with limited-slip differential and Rev-Match Control for complete engine optimization. Meanwhile, the lightweight chassis coupled with an adaptive damper system gives you a smooth ride every time.

Style and function are one and the same when it comes to the Civic Type R’s exterior. The track-ready aero body includes a front air splitter, functional side skirts, rear wing, vortex generators, vented front fenders, and rear diffuser—all of which help control the handling and steering of the Type R. An aggressive front bumper, LED light profile, and a center-mounted triple barrel exhaust further contribute to this unique design concept.

Awards & Accolades

The unapologetic performance and style offered by the Civic Type R make it a one-of-a-kind driving experience. Last year’s model was named an Automobile All-Star as well as an Editor’s Choice by Car and Driver, and the 2019 installment should experience continued success.
